THIRTEENTH WARD CITIZENS
They Will llavo to Await Tliclr Turn In
Court the Same us Kverybody rise.
Peculiar Reasons Advanced
for tirunting Licenses.
Colonel F. L. Hitchcock asked court
yesterday aflternoon If it would he
deased to advance 'the hearing of the
applications for licenses In the Thlr-
enth ward out of the regular order
tis an accommodation to a number of
romlnent citizens of Green Itidge who
are present In court readytu give testi
mony. They are In a hurry to got back
o their business. Judge Kdwards In
formed Colonel Hitchcock that the
wealthy residents of Green Hidge are
entitled to no more recognition In court
than the laboring man; that there are
poor men working for a dollar a day
who have to hide their time In court,
and the Thirteenth ward cases would
have to be heard In (their regular order.
ltemonstrances were filed ugalust li
censing the saloons of Kenaldo I.alll
and Vito Glrardo In Dunmore. Uoth
houses are on the same street and only
11 block apart. I.alll sold Intoxicants
to Joseph Boschlno on the Sunday he
murdered Frank Confortl. Glrardo sold
liquor at a late hour to the crowd of
which Vito I.ouisso was one, who was
recently found murdered across the
street from Glrurdo's hotel.
The remonstrance ngulnst the petition
of U. P. Krelnberg In the Third ward
was withdrawn. There was a remon
strance against the application (if John
JlcAndrew, who wishes to open a hotel
ut Mill and Kim streets in lmnmore.
It was alleged that the place Is not n
necessity tind is poorly fitted for a
hotel.
The disc of tiullughcr.
Attorney Colborn reopened the case
of P. H. Gallagher, of LMckson, ugainst
whom there Is a remonstance. Wit
nesses were sworn to prove thut Mr.
"iallagher Is a man of good character.
There were no remonstances against
the opllcatlons In Lackawanna town
ship, but there were several new houses
and the attorneys In each cuse endeav
ored to persuade the court that his
client should be granted a license.
Old Forge, the banner district of the
county, was next called In Its regular
order. Among the list of applicants
ir many new ones. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney John M. Harris asked
for a license for William Herbert, of
Biirbertown.
"He is an Englishman, Your Honor,"
said Mr. Harris. "Where was he
born?" asked Judge Arch bald. "In
the state of Missouri," was the reply
This slip, which was afterward cor
rected, caused some amusement. At
torney II. M. Hannah had remonstances
against John Sanders and Joseph Te
rtesco, of Uarhertown. The petition of
Hugh Marley. of Mayfleld, was with
drawn with the consent of the court.
Opposed to tieorgc Shvloek.
A remonstance was offered against
the apllcatlon of Goodman & Weiss, of
I'riceburg. The petition of George
Shylock for a renewal of his hotel II
cense in Olyphant was opposed on the
ground thut Shylock sold liquor on
Sunday and maintained a disorderly
house.
Before the applications In the Scran
ton wards Were called up court returned
to Fell township petitions and those of
Archbuld borough In order to have a
few corrections made.
Beginning with the First ward the
application of John K. Jones for a
hotel on Parker street was nrged by
Attorney H. L. Taylor, and opposed by
Mr. Dawson. Mr. Taylor said thnt
there is a large tratllc in that vicinity
us many as 3u0 persons pass there in a
day. Mr. Dawson said that he never
knew of that many going by the loca
lion wnere Jones proposes to run a
hotel, except on la duy when some
funeral passed by on Its way to the
cemetery.
Common Councilman P. II. Golden's
application for a restaurant license on
West Market street, in the First ward
was opposed because that vicinity Is
already will enough supplied with es
tablishments for the refreshment of
man and beast. Major Everett Warren
and Attorney John P. Kelley argued In
favor of granting the license, advancing
the reasons that Mr. Golden Is a wry
competent man, and that the growing
needs of the North End require that
sufficient accommodations should be
provided. Attorney Charles H. Welles
represented the remonstrants.
Case of John I.115 hourn.
Thomas Harris asked for permission
to sell the ardent at 126 West Market
street. Attorney Vosburg tried to con
vince tne court tnnt tne place is a
necessity and Attorney C. W. Dnwson
had the opposite side of the argument
The nume of John Laybourn was culled
out. Some one answered that It Is an
old house. Judge Archbuld paused
with a quizzical look on his face and
said, "How can this be an old house?
This license was revoked last yeur b:
cause It was not taken out." "Who Is
attorney for this petition?" continued
the court. Silence reigned supreme.
Attorney J. Elliot Boss came forward
to answer the name, of John Walken-
shaw, who has applied for permission
to open a restnurant at North Main
avenue and Dean street. Mr. Boss
offered much merriment by urging ns
strong reasons why Walkershaw should
be granted u license, that he Is n Scotch
mnn,(& splendid musician, innd the
lender of an orchestra.,
The application of Herman Hagen at
1112 Albright avenue was opposed. The
application of Adam Spltzer for
bottler's license for an establishment In
the Second ward was opposed by Attor
ney A. W. Bertholf and prayed for by
Attorney Zimmerman. It was alleged
that Spltzer, last year, conducted his
place against law and order. That as
the outgrowth of carousals at his estab
lishment there have been murders com
mitted.
The last application .heard- was thu
of K. J. Burke. A remonstance was
presented! stating that the place Is
not a necessity, Is near a new school
house, and Mr. Burke Is a violator of
the license law.
ANOTHER PROTEST MADE.
Petition Being Signed Agnlnat House Hill
No. 30".
A petition la being signed In the city
by all the wholesale merchants, bank
ers and commercial men against house
bill No. 3G9, now before the house of

govern and define mercantile agencies'
and by section 2 provides that all
mercantile agencies In the stats must
have actual paid - up capital to the
amount of at least $50,000 and a de
posit of $15,000 with 'the state treas
urer. They must also pay a specific
tan of three per centum per annum on

per annum: all Information furnlahed
by mercantile agencies shall not be

The bill In its entirely is considered
too drastic, and un earnest effort Is

DTTKRS I' ROM THE PEOPLE.
fUnder this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by tho writers
mono. Tho Tribune will not bo held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.)
HOTELS AM) RESTAURANTS-
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To one who loves his country ana
who sympathies with tho poor, ihe
lirht witnessed at the court house mis
morning was peculiarly distressing. Tho
ourt room and the approach to It were
rowded. Un the bench sat three grave,
patriotic, t nristian juugea. i iu-
listening to evidence 111 relation to the
granting of licenses for tho sale of "vin
ous, spirituous, malt, or brewed liquors
at retail," and they Will be asked, also, to
pass upon the quallllcatlons of "whole
sale dealers, brewers, bottlers, distillers,
ertlllers, compounders, store keepers
ami agents dealing In intoxicating
liquors," etc.
If there had been only a few applicants
for such licenses, it would have been a Bad
enuugh sight; but to see Hindi crowds and
o know that several hundreds, in amni
on and vicinity, are anxious to engage in
a work which, however lawful, is so In-
urlous to society, making one s neart
ache. Perhaps Scranton Is no worse in
his respect than any other city or Its
l in ibis Loeiit stale, but that does not
esscn-the folly to say nothing of the" sin
of Scranton respecting the use, or,
ather, tho abuse of Intoxicating liquors.
What utuu7.es one is the number or no-
els" and "restaurants' there are in
Scranton. If these be really hotels anu
estaurants. Sciiinton Is well enough pre
pared to entertain any ussembly or con
dition state or national I nai may pe
held In the near or Immediate future.
Just think of It! There, ure twelve men
and one woman who want to keep hotels
in Ihe First ward, and the same number
In the Second ward, and about an equal
number In each of the Fifth. Eleventh,
Fourteenth and Sixteenth wurds, while in
the Eighth ward llfty-three usk the priv
ilege of selling liquor ill their "hotels."
Think of it! Fifty-three "hotels" In a
single ward In the city of Scranton! And
such hotels! Of the fifty-three how many
are worthy the name of a hotel? Of the
hundreds who ure asking for hotel Il
euses, how many deserve to be called
hotels? Very few.
Yt the Judges tho grave, patriotic,
Christian Judges listened to the appeals
of these would-be liquor dealers. That is
not their fault. The law compels them to
listen. They would gladly shrink from
such n task If they could. Hut they ure
sensible men. They will do their duty.
They do not owe their position on the
bench to the liquor saloons. Doubtless
some saloon keepers as well us saloon
patronlzers voted for them, but that fact
will not warp their judgment, for they
are righteous judges. They know their
duty, and they know with what large
discretion, us well as with what large au
thority, the law clothes them. They know
that liquor saloons are factories which ure
kept running day and night Sundays
(with some honorable exceptions) as well
as week days, and they know that what
ever may be said in favor of these suloor.s
they are factories which breed poverty
and wretchedness; which make homes un
happy; which bring grief to widows and
which make hungry orphans cry for-
bread; which propagate vice and crime,
and which bring ruin to multitudes. These
good Judges know ull this and the good,
law-abiding, holm-loving Christian peo
ple of Scranton have a right to appeal to
these honorable gentlemen these Judges
clothed with so much uuthorlty and ao
much discretion that they will keep these
pests of society within us narrow limits as
possible.
If we u.-'umr that one-hulr the ramilles
In Scranton .ire wtirons of the saloon
a rather violent assumption then one sa
loon ought to be enough to supply the
wants or u hundred families. In thut case
Scranton would be entitled to u hundred
saloons, un umple supply In all cons :ienr
for this goodlv city. Bet If On per o?nt.
tie added, then Scranton would hav.- a
hundred ami II fty saloon "hotels and
restaurunts" as'they ure euphemistically
called; and sio-ely that Is more thr.li
nough to satisfy ull reasonable demani s.
That would reduce the number of II-
ensed liu'lur establishments in Scrunton,
and by so much as they are reduced In
number, by so much will a step in lair city
government lie taken, and that will bu u
step In the right direction.
A city like Scranton with a nuniired und
fifty licensed drinking places "hotels"
and "restaurants Is well supplied.
Those anxious to increase the number of
such places uud those willing to grunt un
Increase ure not the best friends of l.iw
and order, nor are they doing ull they can
to promote the happiness of the American
homo and the best Interests of the Ameri
can nation. James McLeod.
Scranton, March 12.
lr. Carter Discusses Choirs.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: During this stirring up over quar
tette vs. chorus choirs, 1 um besieged by
muny asking me my opinion of the val le
of each. May I use your columns to In
form my friends that as yet a regularly
uppo'.nted committee or representative
citizens have not waited upon me, asking
tne to give my valuable opinion, and us
the board of trade have not, seen lit to
offer a premium for my opinion. I assure
you I um too modest to offer It to them.
Simposlng 1 am booKKi-t-M-r in a iry
goods establishment anil the owner asks
mo to put down a quantity or pork to his
account, am 1 expected to rush to the
public with a discussion us to my opinion
of dry goods and pork.
I am engaged as organist and director
of the music of the regular services t
Kin Park church. As such I um not Justl-
lied In expressing my opinion publicly
upon the question, but am expected to do
my best with the material I am asked to
use. Then, If not sutlsfled, I know what I
can do.
The services at Elm Park church are of
religious order uud not Intended us un
exhibition of any one. At present- a
quartet to assists the pastor and if any one
Is troubled by that there ure several cnor
uses In the city, and persons desiring a
chorus to assist their religious senti
ments need not long be worried. As to
"high class music" am glud to say we
are not annoyed with that "disease," and
us our pastor Is the leader of the service,
we, as the servants of lla cause, expect
to do our best by singing Gowpel hymns,
If these are of value In assisting anyone.
I have never yet fidt thut Ignorance In
the pulpit or choir was any assistance to
church work, and If a better educated
chorus Is to be bad than a quartette, I am
for It. Tho best music for Elm Park
church is my desire and our committee
Is well adapted to wrestle with the sub
ject. Strnnge how some people's religion
Is governed by a qnui ti!lto or chorus. 1
have known ministers who becamo so
enthusiastic upon the subject that th"y
forgot the advice, "If meut cause thy
brother to offend," etc., and actually
forgot their "Master's business" In debat
ing the value of a chorus, as If thnt point
was tho highest aim of religious life) At
Elm Park we ore listening to good re
ligious sermons and huve not time to
disturb ourselves as to one rad or another,
but will do our best to do you good' if
you come.
When a preacher finds tho power to draw
Is lost he, as a. rule, blame's the music,
and when the musle gets after him his
days of usefulness are limited. Come, my
dear church people, If music la causing
disturbance, put It out, but If you will ull
go to church for a better life and leave
tho music to the proper committee a wave
of religious enthusiasm will hover about
you and the chorus or quartette will uot
In any way injure you. nincereiy,
George 13. Carter.

PLANS FOR EXTENSIONS
i
Have Been Prepared by Traction Com
' puny anil Sent to Philadelphia.
MUST HE APPROVED THERE
One of tho Improvements Decided on la
an Kxtenslon of the Koad to Peters
burg -Improvements Last Year Ho
suited In Increased Truffle.
General Manager Beetem, of the
Scranton Traction company, in an In
terview with a Tribune reporter yester
day talked quite freely concerning the
present doings and open-weather plans
of the company. Blue prints, drawings
and detail figures ad libitum have been
prepared during the winter and for
warded to the general oltlce In Phila
delphia. The documents contain Buch
Information as will guide the oltlcers of
the Traction company In their exten
sion and other plans.
"It will possibly be a month," said
Mr. Beetom, "before the Philadelphia
people give me complete Instructions;
until then 1 only know of one lino which
will assuredly be extended a route up
Petersburg Hill and into the Tenth
ward.
"Are your plans complete for the Pe
tersburg extension?"
"Yes, except in the choice of one of
two streets up the hill from Qulncy
avenue. The right of way Is assured
and our first move -till spring will be
to make the extension. "
"Whut branch lines or changes in
routes have you under consideration?"
the reporter asked.
Waiting for Instructions.
"I can only say in a general way
that we could make changes and im
provements in eviy section of the city
which would benefit the residents of
those localities as much as ourselves.
These points are all Included In the pa
pers sent to the Philadelphia ofllce.
When the officers have carefully com
pared the separate llnancial Items,
truffle, repairs, cost, revenue and a
thousund und one other things when
this is done, then I will get Instruc
tions." "Mr. Beotem, what, In your opinion,
would be the best line of operating
policy for the coming open weather?"
"Now, you have asked me a question
easy to answer, but upon which I don't
wish to bo quoted too literally. I can
not give a direct reply, but I can tell
you what 1 would like to see done. As
suming that contingencies are favora
ble, 1 would like to get orders to tear
up every old line of track In the city
limits and re-lay the whole thing new
from top to bottom. Last summer and
autumn on this line of work we spent
approximately $150,000. The public has
appreciated these improvements on
Lackawanna avenue, the Providence
line, the Green Itidge and Dunmore
suburban lines and on other routes.
Traffic Has Increased.
"The track work and later complete
renovation of the cars and changed
schedules hus been appreciated. Our
tratllc was 16 per cent, greater last
month, notwithstanding the blizzard,
than during the same period In K'M.
Indications are that March will show
a greater Increase."
While Mr. lleetem was disinclined to
discuss llnuuclal matters minutely his
conversation on this point Indicated thut
the traction Interest In this city is any
thing but a speculative Investment or
a shuttlecock plaything whose rise and
full depends on financial conditions.
PLENTY OF MONEY.
It Is Hack of un Enterprise Scruatoniuns
Are Interested In.
The Incorporators of the Pennsyl
vutilu Heat, Light and Power com
pany, who are seeking valuable privi
leges from the city for the purpose of

Who the capitalists are back of the
project could not be ascertained yes
terduy. though President William H.
Bhawn, of the Bunk of tho Republic,
at whose request the company's ordin
ance was Introduced In councils, said
that there was plenty of money back
of the enterprise. He hud made a
thorough Investigation as to the
churucler and standing of the men
who were willing and reudy to pluce
their money in the company, he said,
and wus fully satisfied! that the enter
prise was a bona fide one. Philadel
